And when you reach the "hard cap" of all the pet slots you can buy, and still have an idea for another pet, all you can do then is "be loyal" and wait for that loyalty box (which is great, but it'd be nice to have the option to purchase another pet slot even just once a year - or two at the Black Friday sale time, like Andrea's suggestion - when you've reached the maximum purchased slots)

I never once said free. I said additional but still having to pay for the slots like any other pet slot. Where you have gotten "free" from is beyond me.
A couple extra paid slots a year still might not be enough for some. It would still be nice if a couple paid slots a month were added. Maybe the Black Friday thing could include a bonus one?

It's not enough for everyone, but you have to wait or make choices and sacrifices. You cannot always everything you want. Just because an idea would mean more money for the site, it doesn't mean it's a good idea. This idea has no rational standing. Why would the site's servers, who can be barely handle an event, become better when a bunch of pet people buy slots.
Last time I bought slots, when the limit was upped by 5, the the site bugged and crashed so much that I lost 8000 CSC buying slots. The site just ate it like that. Thanks Based Kevin for dealing with my crying over the ticket system, I got my money back after...almost a week.
Neopets has a hard cap of 20 pets, 25 if you're premium on all your accounts. Flight Rising has a hard cap of 125 dragons, at full capacity. I would love to have every single Blumaroo color or my double Imperial rainbow on both of these sites, but sadly, I cannot because in both cases, the final number is over the limit.
I had to make choices. We all have to make choices. We shouldn't have to rely on the site giving us more slots for no good reason other than "but i can't decide what i want QnQ"
Yeah I know. I have 40 pets so all I can do is wait for my LB or if Keith raises the limit again. But to me, it's fine. I don't mind waiting or shelling out a hundred dollars for more slots when the cap is raised again. I do like the black friday suggestion, but monthly slots seem unecessary.
